Nevada Governor Lombardo to Deliver State Address

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo is set to deliver his 2025 State of the State Address on January 15 at 6 p.m., where he will outline his goals and priorities ahead of the upcoming legislative session. He plans to discuss progress made since his inaugural address, focusing on keeping taxes low, balancing the state budget, and investing in education and workforce development. Key topics will include education, healthcare, economic development, housing, and public safety. Ahead of the address, the Nevada State Democratic Party criticized Lombardo's vetoes, claiming they have increased costs for families, particularly regarding housing bills. Despite Democratic majorities in the Assembly and Senate, any legislation passed will require Lombardo's signature, as he successfully prevented a Democratic supermajority in the last election. This biennial address, a tradition preceding the legislative session, provides lawmakers with a framework of the governor's agenda for the session.
